Hi all,<br>
<br>
Tom Reijnders and I (inge Donkervoort) are visiting the Apereo
Conference in Philadelphia USA at the moment and did also a Xerte
session yesterday. That went well by the way.<br>
<br>
Watching the program of today we are very excited because two of the
sessions today are about Xerte and are NOT presented by us :)<br>
<br>
<b>Hey it's a MOOC, let's copy and use it!</b><br>
Presented by: Greg Doyle - University of Cape Town<br>
The globalization of MOOCs has evolved to where it attracts
participants from all over the world, expanding access to higher
education for the masses. Poorly resourced institutions frequently
use these teaching and learning resources as an expansion to what is
available at their own institutions. Opportunities for reuse and
repurposing through Creative Commons licenses enable modified course
content to be re-published at other educational facilities. MOOCS
therefore offer productive pathways for expanding educational
learning opportunities. The question is how do you convert the
content used in a MOOC and run it locally? In this presentation we
will share converting and localizing the content an international
MOOC on the topic of eye health in Xerte and running it on Sakai. We
describe the affordances of Xerte and the opportunities it allows
for different modes of delivery.<br>

; Robert Squillace - Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and
Educational Technology Liaison, Liberal Studies, NYU<br>

We'll keep you informed!<br>
